I'm gonna give it 3 stars.Ĭlassic favorite for 3,4,5 year olds. Henley did a good job wording things for children, as well.Īs a side note (as ridiculous as it seems), I actually laughed out loud two or three times while reading, and multiple times because of the illustrations (Not because they're bad, but because they'd make great memes). This "dumbed-down" version, as I called it in the previous paragraph, serves as a great introduction to the Bible for children. Once you read the Holy Bible cover to cover, you read some things that aren't always incredibly pleasant. This not-so-little book also skips over a lot of stuff that you probably wouldn't want your young child reading about yet, anyway. Present day, reading it alongside the KJV Bible, it made that translation of the Bible make more sense in places. For the age that I (probably, anyway) was (like, 5 or 6), this made the stories come to life. I remember reading this cover to cover once when way back when. For children, this is a really good book for them to read. It's a collection of re-written (and admittedly somewhat dumbed-down) stories from the recorded events in the Holy Bible. Opinions are solely my own.I was given this book by one of my Pastors when I was very young. I receieved a complimentary copy to facilitate a review of my honest opinions without compensation. A great preparation for the years when the real Bible will become an integral part of their own life. This will become a well-loved book by your child and you will delight that your child loves hearing about the many wonderful men and women from the Bible. This new edition of the originally published in 1989 Beginner's Bible just exudes life and brilliance in the attention-grabbing, child centric illustrations rendered in a virtual 3-D effect in stong, bright colors. Hence the writers, illustrators, and publishers have labored diligently to bring to your home a book worthy of it's title - The Beginner's Bible from ZonderKidz an imprint of Zondervan. It is an introduction to and base of study for beginners. Now a Bible storybook is not nor should be considered to be the actual Word of God. You can choose to have one or you can choose to have a variety so that your child can experience the many "tellings" and "illustrative styles" of authors and artists as they bring to life what God reveals to mankind in his word. Bible story books are such a wonderful tool to have on hand to introduce the young child to the Bible and the bare-bones of the Word of God.
